Having Killed a Saint Realm Expert

News of Evil Eye accepting the challenge began to spread through Azure City and even the entire Azure Domain.

As the main figure in the incident, Luo Feng was quite leisurely and paid little attention to the outside discussions. He first went to the Thousand Treasures Pavilion and spent all two thousand cosmos units to purchase that Primary Time Heart.

He mainly wanted to see whether the Time Heart could help him comprehend the mysteries of the Time Origin. Two thousand cosmos units for an opportunity was an investment Luo Feng was willing to make.

After obtaining the Time Heart, Luo Feng returned to the residence he had bought in Azure City and began his cultivation.

"Morosa, I need to refine the Time Heart over the next few days. Do not let anyone disturb me during that time," Luo Feng instructed.

"Yes, Master," Morosa replied.

Morosa was a soul slave, so Luo Feng was at ease.

After entering the residence, he went straight into the Star Tower and sat down cross-legged.

The Time Heart was about the size of a rugby ball, a regular azure elliptical crystal. Its surface was covered in countless tiny facets, each bearing streaks of golden secret patterns. Floating before Luo Feng, the Time Heart allowed him to easily sense at such close range that the flow of time across its surface differed from the surrounding area—sometimes faster, sometimes slower.

"This Time Heart truly is miraculous." Luo Feng sighed in amazement. Experiencing its effects personally was far more profound than reading about them, and he could barely wait to refine it.

The refinement methods for the Time Heart, Space Heart, and Spacetime Heart were all the same. It was very simple: one merely had to envelop it with soul power and let that power seep inside. It would gradually be refined, and once fully refined, the crystal itself would collapse and turn into dust.

Luo Feng proceeded carefully. His soul power formed a gigantic mouth and swallowed the Time Heart in a single bite.

Strands of soul power began to seep into it.

In an instant.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Luo Feng could clearly feel strange wisps of power passing through his soul power and slowly merging into his soul.

This power was extremely sensitive to fluctuations in time. It even actively caused the flow of time around his soul to vary.

Luo Feng felt his perception of the Laws of Time improving at a noticeable rate.

"Miraculous, wonderful!" Luo Feng could not help but exclaim. This sensation was even stranger and far more intense than when he had fused with that spatial origin treasure in the Primal Universe Ancestral God Secret Realm.

The fluctuations of time were incomparably intense. During the refinement process, when Luo Feng's true body sensed the Laws of Time, it was as though his consciousness were within the Primal Universe's Origin Sea. The Laws of Time seemed externally manifested, allowing Luo Feng to easily perceive their essence.

Luo Feng had long comprehended the Laws of Time. His next step was to comprehend the mysteries of the Time Origin.

However, origins were far more complex and profound than laws. Laws were merely the outward manifestation of origins. Observing the exterior only revealed their form, only what they were, but not their inner essence. To analyze that inner essence was tens of millions of times more difficult.

Luo Feng did not believe that a single Time Heart would allow him to uncover the mysteries of the Time Origin, but it increased the chances of comprehension. Such an investment was naturally worthwhile.

Time passed, and the strange power of the Time Heart continued to merge into Luo Feng's soul strand by strand.

Finally.

Just as the third day arrived, the final wisp of strange power flowed out of the Time Heart and merged into Luo Feng's soul. With a crack, fissures appeared across the Time Heart. Then, with a bang, the rugby-ball-sized Time Heart turned into countless specks of dust and scattered through the air.

Luo Feng opened his eyes as well, revealing a satisfied smile.

"As expected of the Time Heart. This feeling is like the Mosha Clan's affinity with space back then—it fits perfectly." Luo Feng was astonished. He had the feeling that even if he had never comprehended the Laws of Time, he could still use them. It was like a fish being in water.

However, despite feeling that his soul was incomparably compatible with the Laws of Time, Luo Feng still felt that comprehending the mysteries of the Time Origin would be extremely difficult. Fusing with the Time Heart merely increased the probability of comprehension, yet he still had no clue at all.

"The mysteries of origins... it seems one Time Heart isn't enough." Luo Feng shook his head.

Back then, he had comprehended the mysteries of the Destruction Origin for two reasons. First, he had the World Beast's origin techniques to draw upon. Second, he had personally experienced the Primal Universe's great destruction at close range. The destruction of the Primal Universe was primarily driven by the Destruction Origin, so it was equivalent to coming into direct contact with the mysteries of the Destruction Origin.

The origin power within the Primal Universe's Origin Sea was merely the origin that sustained the Primal Universe's existence. It could externally manifest law power to maintain the universe's operation, but understanding the mysteries of its inner essence was incomparably difficult. The Primal Universe Origin Will could control origin power not because it understood the mysteries of origins, but because that was an ability granted under the Supreme Rule.

Just like Luo Feng now, having replaced the Primal Universe Origin Will, he too could control origin power. But to truly understand how to use it in essence was hundreds of millions of times more difficult.

Comprehending the mysteries of origins was exceedingly difficult.

Seizing the Primal Universe Origin Will and becoming a Saint Realm expert was not particularly difficult, but becoming a God King was far, far harder. To become a God King, one had to comprehend the mysteries of all ten origins. Only by comprehending those mysteries could one evolve the chaos space within one's body into a miniature universe.

Without origins, there could be no universe.

Behind every universe stood the support of the ten origins within its internal space.

At present, Luo Feng had refined the Time Heart, yet he still felt that comprehending origins remained a distant prospect.

Luo Feng had completely comprehended all ten basic laws. If he wished to improve further, he had two paths: fuse laws or comprehend the mysteries of origins. Now, with the help of the Time Heart, the mysteries of the Time Origin should have been the most likely for him to succeed in comprehending, yet he still had no leads.

Fusing laws was equally difficult.

Following the ideas and methods of the Duandong River Lineage, Luo Feng tried to begin by fusing the five basic laws, then fuse in the other five laws one by one, ultimately achieving the Chaos Law.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were the fundamental laws of chaos. Compared to time, space, wind, lightning, and light, these five were relatively easier to fuse. If he could thoroughly fuse the five fundamental laws before incorporating the other five, forming the Chaos Law would become much easier.

Anyone capable of fusing these five fundamental laws was certain to reach the Saint Realm.

Of the five fundamental laws, Luo Feng could fuse three, such as metal, wood, and water; metal, fire, and earth; or metal, water, and earth. He had also made some progress in attempting a fourth. For example, he could fuse part of metal, wood, water, and earth.

Yet sometimes, in order to increase his strength, he had no choice but to fuse other laws in advance. Luo Feng could currently fuse six laws, but when he reached the seventh, the difficulty suddenly soared.

"If I can fuse seven laws, my strength can advance another step," Luo Feng thought to himself.

Within the Origin Sea space, Luo Feng's consciousness easily permeated the Primordial Boundary Tablet, visualizing those incomparably profound and complex secret law patterns.

Within the Inheritance Space, Luo Feng's divine power incarnation continuously attempted to integrate them under a ten-thousandfold time acceleration.

Having refined the Time Heart, Luo Feng felt that aside from fusing laws, he could also attempt to comprehend the mysteries of the Time Origin.

With another epoch remaining, Luo Feng was doing everything he could to improve his strength.

Time passed...

"Hm? Zhan Tianxing, the master of the Celestial Star Pavilion? He wants to see me?" Within the residence, Luo Feng's true body opened his eyes.

Just moments ago, Morosa had sent him a transmission.

"This Zhan Tianxing seems to be human as well, but I have no connection with him. Why does he suddenly want to see me?" Luo Feng wondered inwardly, immediately rising and leaving the Star Tower.

"Bring him in," Luo Feng transmitted to Morosa.

Soon, the tall Zhan Tianxing, with his handsome face and pure white wings, followed Morosa into the residence.

"You are Galaxy?" Zhan Tianxing examined Luo Feng. Luo Feng appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary Eternal True God, with nothing particularly remarkable about him. He seemed to be roughly at the fifth level of Eternal True God, and Zhan Tianxing could not help frowning.

Luo Feng also noticed Zhan Tianxing's expression and merely smiled. "Pavilion Master, did you come to see me for something?"

His ability to remain formless and intangible allowed him to disguise himself as a fifth-level Eternal True God. Even a Saint Realm expert would only sense him as possessing fifth-level strength. Zhan Tianxing was merely an Eternal True God, so naturally he could not see through Luo Feng.

"You, a fifth-level Eternal True God, dare to challenge Evil Eye?" Zhan Tianxing did not think he had misjudged him, but the words sounded somewhat wrong once spoken. He added, "Unless you are stronger than I am?"

Luo Feng smiled. "Is the Pavilion Master worried about me, or are you here to sound things out for Evil Eye?"

Luo Feng remained somewhat wary inside.

"Rest assured, I am not one of Evil Eye's people. I came only to remind you of a few things. If your strength is truly only at the fifth level, I advise you to give up on fighting Evil Eye. You are human like me. I do not care where you came from, but I do not want you to fall at Evil Eye's hands. Evil Eye's strength exceeds your imagination." Zhan Tianxing shook his head.

Only through prolonged contact had he gradually discovered just how terrifying Evil Eye was.

Outsiders only knew that Evil Eye's soul illusions were powerful, but his close-combat attacks were just as terrifyingly strong.

Hearing this, Luo Feng's expression softened slightly. He had not expected Zhan Tianxing to believe he was human and come out of concern for him.

"Could it be that the master of the Celestial Star Pavilion knows some of Evil Eye's background?" Luo Feng asked.

Zhan Tianxing shook his head, his expression grave. "I do not know his background, but I know an important piece of information."

"Evil Eye killed a Saint Realm expert during the most recent reincarnation epoch. Below the Saint Realm, he is absolutely invincible!"
